Y., and re¬ ferred to the Committee on Secret Work consisting of the following Supreme Representatives: Harry E. Pfingst of Kentueky, Alonzo G. Walsh of Massachusetts, H. H. Compton of Nebraska, S. H. Boynton of California and Frank D. Butler of Indiana. This committee reported:
'•The Com.mittee on Secret Work, to whom was referred the Frateri al Ritual by Past Regent Albin N. John¬ son and associates of Freeport, .N'ew Yorl<, beg leave to report:
" We have carefully considereel the subject matter bearing upon the same. We believe it to be adapted to the Councils of our Order. It is clear and forcible in its ceremonies and deeply in.pressive. Thc paraphernalia is perfectly symbolical of the great un¬ derlying principles of the Royal Ar- cac.um. Taken as a whole, it is a ritual of high merit and worth.
•*We most heartily commend Broth¬ er Johnson and associates upon the production of this work, and recogtoze it as an evidence of the great interest and love which they have for our Or¬ der."
The Fraternal Council brothers are very hopeful that time and experience and this high entlorsement will result in the general adoption of this ritual eventually by the whole Order.

(By the Editor.
I am informed the four-in^h water mains such as we have in Bennington Park are plenty large enough for a good water pressure under pri.per con¬ ditions, our trouble at the tire there, being due   to   a so-called   "dead-end."
I wrote a member of the water com¬ mittee of tbe Village Board askii^g him to explain the cause of the poor conditions there but he didn't reply.
Last week we publisht in lUr village board minutes an account of a mis¬ understanding abi Ut a Diile in front of t e Kaster.huber residence on South Ocean .Avenue. Mrs. Kastenhuber objected at first to the pole being placed but vhen she found it was nec¬ essary in order to i>roperly place the electric street light she offered no fur¬ ther objection.
As to advertising, some people have a peculiar idea about it. An adv. in a lar.;e magazine announces, speaking of an encyclopedia being extensively advertised '•(.)rders mailed by .May 31st will be in time." So they will, or Dec, :Ust either, if it's a matter of taking any more onlers as the line wo -Id indicate.
The Babylon Signal says: ".Munici¬ pal water systems may kmk jdeasant in theory, but seldom work well in act¬ ual practice. Suffolk County has a vil¬ lage and a township, each of which had the opp<irtunity of trying out this "pleasant-day dream," but after a careful consideration and analysis they each decided that municipal ownership of water plants is too expensive scheme to monkey with."
They ought to come down to Free- port and learn how to make money supplyi:ig water for instance to the wh(de tow^i. and puttii.g down new wells to d'l it with.
While it is nice to be sociable and go to neighbi ring villages when they have tires 1 could not but wonder what woukl have happened if say for instance Sigmond's Opera House had caught fire Saturday night with practically all of our apparatus out of town.
How about a Fouifth of July celebra¬ tion in Freeport. Anybody thinking about it?
